The ultimate party music! Ska music originated in Jamaica and had a great influence on reggae music. Ska combines elements of Caribbean and Calypso with Jazz and R&B, and is characterized by a walking bass line, guitar or piano rhythms on the offbeat, and jazz-like horn riffs. Some Ska Bands play "Ska Punk", which is a a fusion of Ska and Punk Rock. The Ska-influenced band No Doubt has been given some credit for bringing the Ska genre into the mainstream. A Ska Band can bring a party atmosphere to any event.
